Austrias Leo Mätzler:
“The success did us good, it takes the pressure off”
Austria Lustenau celebrated their first win in League Two on Friday evening, winning 2:1 at Horn. Leo Mätzler put the Ländle club ahead. The first three-pointer was a relief, says the Bregenzerwald native.
"It was also a bit of luck, the ball landed right on my head," said Leo Mätzler, describing his goal to make it 1:0 for Austria Lustenau in Horn. "But no matter, a goal is a goal," he adds. With his first goal in Lustenau kit, the Bregenzerwald native also initiated the relegated team's first win of the current season. "The success has done us all good, it takes some of the pressure off us."
Under coach Martin Brenner, the 22-year-old central defender has been a mainstay so far. Things were very different under predecessor Andy Heraf. "I was completely absent then, I didn't get a chance. But that's just the way the business is," he says, happy that the pendulum is now swinging in the other direction again.
Not yet a leading player
Although only in his early 20s himself, he plays a strategically important role in the young team with many French-speaking players. "We talk to each other in English. Unfortunately, I didn't speak French at school, but Latin," he smiles. And if an interpreter is needed, physio Lucas Vidal helps out. The only one left from the old staff. Mätzler does not yet see himself as a leading player. "But I am someone who wants to take on responsibility. I can only do that with performance."
